Care to tap into some of those 25,000 apps currently living in the App Store? Why not start with this refurbished iPod touch? The device has undergone Apple's stringent refurbishment process to begin selling for $209.00. The same iPod touch now costs $50 less - $159.00. Grab one!

As Apple fans should know, a brand new, first generation iPod touch packing 8GB of memory currently costs $229. For $159, some would say this is one heck of deal. So, what's so great about the iPod touch that everyone on this Earth wants one? Apple lists the following features:

- Multi-touch display with full QWERTY soft keyboard - Safari web browser - Email access - Built-in Wi-Fi - Holds up to 1,750 songs - Up to 22 hours of music playback - Up to 5 hours of video playback - 4.2 ounces - 4.3 x 2.4 x 0.31 inches - Apple Earphones - USB cable - Dock adapter.

Adding the unmentioned benefits, and with iPhone OS 3.0 on the way, that list of features should actually be pages long. Plus, you get the same one-year warranty as a brand new iPod touch, all manuals and accessories, including unopened earbuds, a fresh battery and outer shell and a new white (shipping) box.
